Day 9 of Building Crowdwide — I Almost Let It Sleep for 8-10 Days 💀

So today is day 9 of building Crowdwide??

I don't feel like I'm going to write any code today.

All features are done, all are working good! UI polishing also done, moderation done, suggestions implemented, reviews checked, all good!

So what will I do today?

It's time to just manage things and see some resources that might be useful. So I was checking what I can do more, and I found nothing to do with frontend and backend.

But but but... I checked the billing of Crowdwide!! It was on the free tier, so it was just going to run out. But I didn't want Crowdwide to die!!

So... I got another idea...

I suspended Crowdwide on Render from one of my accounts, which had already used 560+ hours out of 750 hours (I created that account for projects I'm going to publish in public).

AT THIS MOMENT I THOUGHT CROWDWIDE WAS GOING TO SLEEP FOR 8-10 DAYS THIS MONTH... BUT I'M A CRUEL DEVELOPER SO...

I deployed Crowdwide from another account, which I use for my personal projects, and that one had only used 250+ hours out of 750.

SO THAT PROBLEM IS SORTED, DEVS!!

Then I tested all features on that new server and YAHH!!

IT WAS WORKINGGGG!!

And I had to do this because this project is built with 0 budget, no earnings, and I'm under 18, so no funding or investment.

And again, I checked my admin console. No notifications there.

Actually, it feels pretty easy to sort everything out now... because while developing, I tried to make it so that any action by a moderator had to be approved by the admin. Like, EVERY action.

Moderators had to get approval just to review a post... and that was my FAAAAAAAAAAAAH system.

So after getting reported about it by Harun (Moderator), I changed things as per his suggestions, and it feels so smooth now.

Ohhh, I forgot to share the progress also!

It feels slower than the past few days, ik it's just the 9th day of the V1 release, but still, in the initial days, it was feeling like it was growing faster.

And I noticed the behaviour of users. They're creating accounts, engaging with some posts, liking and commenting mostly...

THEN JUST OFF.

They don't wanna post!!

They don't wanna join communities!!

DEAR USERS, SAY SOMETHING ALSO!!

And one reality check is also there: there are 4 communities on Crowdwide, but only 2 are getting consistent posts at this stage, and those are also by me!!

OHHHHHH USERS!!! YOU ALSO POST AND SAY SOMETHING!!

A platform feels alive with 100-200 active users, not with 250 crore passive audience!

But Crowdwide has 10 users only... 🙄 I think I roasted myself.

But it's alright!

And today is Sunday, and all the users who joined Crowdwide will receive a newsletter!!

I'm waiting for it tbh. I know the timing, so I'll check it at that time (to see if the algorithm is giving good post suggestions or picking up the proper user's interests or not).

Hmmm... and Crowdwide's new version... Crowdwide V2's release date will be announced soon 😂😅
